Default Visual differences between B vtec and non-vtec oil pumps?

I'm building a high comp. LS bottom end, and I have three oil pumps laying around. I know at least one of them is a vtec pump, but I can't seem to find any visual difference between the three. What's the easiest way to tell? Even internally they seem pretty much the same.

Thanks,
Adam

I thought this would be an easy one for you guys.

Help me out, I'm not going to run an LS pump on a built bottom end.

I picked up my P72 oil pump from acura today. I'll try to get picks up soon so you can reference it.

Great, thanks a lot! That may help me... although my three pumps all seem pretty much the same, externally and internally. WOrth a shot, though.

Don't the vtec pumps have more teeth? (wild guess)

The springs are different, the gsr spring is stiffer. Thats the difference, and the reason the gsr flows more.
